JERSEY CITY, N.J. – The UMBC women's
soccer team exploded for five goals against non-conference Saint
Peter's for its first victory of the season and the first since
Sept. 26, 2010 on Saturday evening at Jaroschak Field. Freshman
forward Bria Bass (Springfield, Va./West Springfield) and
freshman midfielder Preslie Quaranta (Baltimore,
Md./Perry Hall) each accounted for two goals in the win.

"I am very excited for our team today," head coach Leslie
Wray said. "The team deserved this win and worked hard to
get it. I am very proud of the effort that everyone gave. This was
a team effort and a good team win."

The Retrievers improve to 1-3-1 on the year, while the Peacocks
move to 1-4.

Bass wasted little time putting UMBC out in front, scoring 17:36
into the contest, blasting in her first collegiate goal off a pass
into the box from classmate Alexa Quaranta (Baltimore,
Md./Perry Hall). The Springfield, Va., native jumped back on the
board 7:10 later, following a clearing pass from freshman
back Amira Walcott (Beltsville, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt),
giving the Retrievers a 2-0 advantage.

In the second half, twins Alexa
Quaranta and Preslie Quaranta accounted for all
three of UMBC's goals. Alexa chipped in her second goal of the
season in the 67th minute, dribbling in and netting a shot from 18
yards out. Preslie scored two straight, each unassisted, to end the
contest.

Each team tallied 14 shots in the match, with the Retrievers
placing 11 on goal.

UMBC goalkeeper Lauren Kadet (Oakville, Ontario/St.
Thomas Aquinas) picked up six saves and combined with freshman
keeper Jen Nance (Millersville, Md./Severna Park) for the
Retrievers second shutout of the season.

UMBC returns to action on Sunday, Sept. 2 when it travels to
Long Island to take on the Blackbirds. Live stats and video can be
